| When this bloody war is over No more soldiering for me When I get my civvy clothes on Oh how happy I will be No more Church parades on Sunday No more putting in for leave How I'll miss the sergeant major How his poor old heart will grieve When this bloody war is over No more soldiering for me When I get my civvy clothes on Oh how happy I will be No more standing to attention No more asking for a weekend pass You can tell the sergeant major Where to stuff his bleeding pass When this bloody war is over No more soldiering for me When I get my civvy clothes on Oh how happy I will be No more putting in for furlough Only one more church parade No more shitting in a slit trench No more Tickler's marmalade (*) (*) La marmellata di Tickler, nella sua tipica confezione di latta, era un componente essenziale delle razioni militari dei soldati britannici. | When this bloody war is over oh how happy we will be when we get our civvy clothes back on no more soldiering for me we will really miss our buddies especially those that fell we'd been through a lot together fighting through the fire of hell when this bloody war is over there must have been a better way maybe we can get together on a bright and peaceful day no more bombs along the highway no more rockets in the sky when we get our civvy clothes back on a peaceful world we all will try when this bloody war is over and the families all unite talk show gurus can stop talking on the left and on the right yes our country stands for freedom but should another soldier die war has never been the answer that generals plan while mothers cry when this bloody war is over oh how happy we will be when we get our civvy clothes on no more soldiering for me. |
